"Woo-woo-"

With the sound of a hair dryer, the washed and cared for the horse trembled, and the thin, short hair supplanted softly against the body, outlining the muscular texture, as if a layer of oil had been applied to the body, reflecting in the light.

Every time it lifts its foot and takes a step, the reflective parts of its body move with the relaxation and tension of the muscles, giving people a dizzying sense of strength.

"It's... This..."

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, his eyes full of surprise.

He admits that he was completely blown away by the care of the shop.

Although the process was a bit odd, the end result greatly exceeded his expectations!

This is what a champion horse should look like!

Inexplicably, the middle-aged man has a kind of certainty, tomorrow's horse race, his chasing wind can win the championship again!

"Are you still satisfied?" Xu Ran smiled slightly.

"Satisfied! So satisfied! The middle-aged man who came back to his senses nodded busily, and then took the initiative to scan the code to pay.

Immediately after, he took a deep look at Xu Ran.

If he valued this shop before because Xu Ran won the championship and he wanted to please a good omen, then now, he values this shop because of the boss's extraordinary washing and care skills.

"Little boss, my name is Xu Kun, and I am the owner of the Chaoyang Horse and Animal Breeding Base." With the idea of befriending each other, the middle-aged man took the initiative to take out his business card and handed it to Xu Ran, "If you want to contract a horse pet in the future, you can come to me." ”

"Okay." Xu Ran put away the business card.

Don't talk about pet beasts or anything, since it is the owner of the breeding base, I am afraid that there are a lot of pet beasts that need to be washed and cared for, right?

This is a big customer.

"If you're interested in tomorrow's horse race, you can come to the racetrack in the west of the city and I can get you the best viewing position." Xu Kun added with a smile.

"Uncle Xu, thank you for the invitation, I..." Xu Rangang was about to refuse the other party on the grounds that he was going to open a store tomorrow, and suddenly his voice froze.

In front of his eyes, a line of text suddenly appeared.

[Novice Quest 5 completed]

That's it?

Yes, at the end of the finals, the popularity was only a little short of the goal, and now that half a day has passed since the finals, it is a matter of course that the goal is achieved under the continuous fermentation.

Thinking of the significance of the completion of the novice task 5, Xu Ran ignored Xu Kun in front of him and opened his personal panel as soon as possible.

[Host: Xu Ran.]

【Click to receive the task reward】

Wonderful!

Receive!

Xu Ran's heart moved, and the next moment the task was successfully received.

[The store is being upgraded, the remaining time is 02:59:59]

It's another three-hour transformation, and it looks like I'll be able to see the training model tonight...

[In the system upgrade, all system skills cannot be used, except for the daily feeding of pet beasts, all store functions cannot be used, and the remaining time is 23:59:59]

Xu Ran: "..."

It looks like I won't be able to experience the training module tonight.

System upgrades also have cooldowns, and they take longer, which is unexpected, and it makes sense.

Thinking that the upgraded system might have better functions, he couldn't help but have a strong expectation in his heart.

It only takes a day for him to...

"Boss Xu? What happened to you? ”

Xu Kun's slightly puzzled voice brought Xu Ran back to his senses.

"It's fine." Xu Ran shook his head with a smile, and suddenly thought of something, "You just said that there will be a horse race tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, are you going?"

"Then please ask Uncle Xu to help me get a good position." Xu Ran nodded.

It takes 24 hours to upgrade the system, and idleness is idleness, so it should be considered to relax.

It just so happened that during this time, he and Ziyun had worked so hard to receive guests and prepare for the game, and they also needed to take a break.

"Meaningless! You helped me to protect the wind chasing so handsomely, and tomorrow it will win the championship, thanks to you! Xu Kun patted the wind and smiled.

The two chatted a few more words, and after agreeing to meet at the racecourse tomorrow, Xu Kun led the chase and left.

Seeing the back of Xu Kun leaving, Xu Ran touched the purple cloud that came up, "There is two good news." ”

"Meow?" (What's the good news?) ）

Ziyun looked up at Xu Ran.

"First good news, we can take a day off tomorrow and give ourselves a holiday." Xu Ran smiled, "You also heard it just now, let's go see the horse race together tomorrow." ”

"Meow!"

Ziyun leaned into Xu Ran's palm and rubbed it, with a bit of expectation on his face.

After defeating the Darkscale Dragon, its fighting spirit has weakened a lot, and it has returned to its previous lazy appearance of doing nothing, and it has been a long time since it has gone out with the Beastmaster, and it sounds very interesting!

"As for the second good news..."Xu Ran smiled, "You have broken through to the elite level, you can add points again." ”

As soon as he broke through, he met Gu Wu's senior coming to the door, and he was so excited that he almost forgot about it, but he just opened his personal panel and saw that he had accumulated more than five hundred physique points, so he remembered.

"Meow !!"

Ziyun's pupils widened, and he became excited for a moment.

Some!

After the breakthrough, Xu Ran opened Ziyun's details panel for the first time.

[Contract Pet Beast: Purple Cloud

Race Name: Electric Cat

Attribute: Thunder

Growth Tier: Elite (5124/20000) [+]

Race Hierarchy: Dominating the race

Skill:

Thunder ★★ Roar (Starlight Class) (82/500)

Electricity ★★ (Starlight Grade) (91/500)

Battle ★★ Instinct (Starlight Tier) (33/500)

[★ Self-Healing Power (Starlight Level)] (24/500)

Blood ★ Fury (Starlight) (40/500)】

Has the upper limit of the growth tier changed from 500 to 20,000...

Xu Ran showed a thoughtful look.

In his opinion, the progress bar of this growth level is not so much a progress bar as a representation of the power of the pet beast.

In reality, there is no such accurate way to quantify among beast masters, and only reaching the peak of this level will be described as perfection.

For example, the transcendent level cannot continue to improve its strength, and it is about to break through the elite level, which is the consummation of the transcendent level.

The system, on the other hand, quantifies this rather rough concept.

In this way, not only can the distance between the current and the consummation be clarified, but also the strength gap between different growth levels can be compared vertically.

After breaking through the elite rank, Ziyun's strength has increased significantly, and now it seems that this increase is equivalent to a tenfold increase in the power of the original transcendent level.

The tenfold increase in strength does not mean that Ziyun at this moment can only beat ten transcendental-level consummate himself, because the greater the difference in strength, the greater the crushing advantage.

With a single thunderstorm, Ziyun can instantly kill all the transcendental-level consummation strength in the range, which is far from being filled by quantity.

And such a powerful Ziyun is only the beginning at the elite level.

Its power is capped at 20,000.

At that time, it could probably easily beat its current self again.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Xu Ran did not hesitate to put the 563 physique points he had accumulated so far into Ziyun's growth progress.

Looking at the progress of becoming (5687/20000), he couldn't help but sigh.

The consummation has not yet been reached, and we still need to work hard to add points! ——

Early the next morning.

"Boss Xu! This way! ”

Looking at Xu Kun, who was waving towards him not far away, Xu Ran also waved his hand, and then took Ziyun to walk quickly through the crowded crowd around him and walked in front of the other party.

"It's your first time here, right?" Looking at Xu Ran, who was looking left and right, Xu Kun smiled and spoke.

"Yes." Xu Ran nodded, "Uncle Xu, is the venue for horse racing near here?" ”

"Yes, do you see the position where the flag is erected?" Xu Kun pointed not far away, a flag fluttering in the wind, about ten meters high, "The starting point of the horse race is there, as for the end... It's 10,000 meters away. ”

"Isn't it running laps?" Xu Ran was a little surprised.

"Of course not." Xu Kun shook his head, "It's just a simple lap, it can't reflect their strength at all, it's too simple." ”

"The track of horse racing is not only full of all kinds of obstacles and environmental terrain, but also a variety of artificial traps, and these competitions are completely different in each competition, and the test is the comprehensive quality of horse pets."

"I see." Xu Ran suddenly said, "But we can't keep up with the speed of the horse, right?" How to watch it? ”

If I'm not mistaken, Xu Kun said yesterday that he wanted to find a good viewing position for him, a 10,000-meter track, no matter where he sits, he can't see the whole game, right?

"Well...," Xu Kun smiled, "There are two kinds of horse racing to watch, one is to sit there. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a larger, enclosed arena next to him.

“… There? Xu Ran looked at the closed stadium and the starting point located outside the stadium, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Is this looking at the air?

"yes, that's it." Xu Kun spread his hands, "This is a ticket, and there will be special photographers who will follow the racing horses and pet animals throughout the whole process, and project the photographed situation in the form of projection in the indoor venue." ”

"Although there is a gap between it and seeing it in person, the experience is not bad."

"And what's the second way to see it?" Xu Ran became curious, "Is it a standing ticket?" ”

"No, no, no." Xu Kun laughed, "The second way to watch is to fly tickets!" Powerful pet beasts that can fly take the audience to watch the game from the air all the way. ”

"Shhh

Fly!

He's been on a large pet beast like the steel rhino, but he hasn't sat on a flying pet beast yet!

Although they have flown in a previous life, the two are obviously completely different experiences.

"Meow?" (Fly?) ）

Ziyun heard that he was going to fly into the air later, his face was stunned for a while, and his two different-colored eyes blinked, revealing a blank feeling.

Is it going to fly too?

"How long does it take for the game to start?" Xu Ran was already a little impatient.

"Boss Xu, don't worry." Xu Kun glanced at the watch in his hand, "There are still forty minutes left for the horse race to officially start." ”

"There are some places to eat and drink over there, if you are bored, Boss Xu, you can go and have a look." Xu Kun said as he pointed to the rows of stalls on the other side.

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded, and then noticed a building next to the stall, where there was an external window, and there were many people lined up in front of the window, "Uncle Xu, what is that?" ”

"Oh that!" Xu Kun glanced at it, "That's the betting window set up by the horse betting platform." ”

"Bet on horses?" Xu Ran's face was a little more curious.

Is it the kind of horse gambling he wants?

"Yes, if you like one of the horses in the race, you can bet on it, and if the horse wins the championship, you will get the amount of the corresponding odds, and if not, you will not get a penny."

Xu Kun's voice paused, "Of course, this is just the easiest way to bet on horses, you can also bet on which three horses are in the top three, or bet on the final ranking of a certain horse..."

"Boss Xu is interested?" Seeing Xu Ran listening carefully, he asked with a smile.

"I'd like to check it out." Xu Ran nodded seriously.

"Okay, let's take a look." Xu Kun nodded, "Just right, I'll bet on chasing the wind." ”

"Can participants bet too?" Xu Ran was slightly surprised.

"Yes, but there will be restrictions." Xu Kun spread his hands, "Ordinary spectators can participate in all categories, and we can only bet on ourselves to win the championship." ”

"After all, other betting methods have the possibility of match-fixing."

"I see." Xu Ran nodded.

Betting on your own horse to win the championship can be said to be confident in your own horse.

However, if you bet on other horses or bet on other rankings, you are suspected of match-fixing.

As the two spoke, they were already at the back of the line.

Although the queue was long, the wait was not long.

The window was very fast in handling business, and it didn't take long for the two of them to take their turn.

"Uncle Xu, come first, I'll take a look." Xu Ran motioned to Xu Kunxian, and he leaned over to the electronic screen erected on the side.

On the electronic screen, there are odds for various gambling methods.

The highest odds are to guess which three horses will be in the top three, and the odds of winning are 1:36.3.

Although it was very tempting, Xu Ran was not sure to guess this.

Through yesterday's washing, he has a full understanding of the state of chasing the wind, and with the blessing of his own washing, he believes that chasing the wind can win the championship of this horse race.

So...

Xu Ran's gaze swept over this gambling method, and turned to the odds of betting on the champion.

Betting on the odds of the champion shows the strength of each horse on the bright side.

The lower the odds, the more people bet on the horse and the stronger the contender for the championship.

At the moment, the lowest odds are a horse pet beast called Jinghong, which has odds of only 1:1.9.

Chasing the wind is in third place at 1:2.6.

The last champion was so unremarkable, it seems that it is the same as Xu Kun said, there are many strong competitors this time.

"Boss Xu, I've got it done." Xu Kun turned his head to look at Xu Ran, "How are you going to bet?" ”

"A little bet." Xu Ran smiled and took out a bank card, "One million, I'll bet on chasing the wind to win." ”

Xu Kun: "??? ”

You call this a small gambling pleasure?!
